CHICO — A 19-year-old allegedly threw his bike at a Chico police car Saturday and grabbed the officer's baton, using it to strike a sergeant, before being tased and arrested.

Christopher Williams of Paradise was booked into the Butte County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, battery on a peace officer, removing a weapon from a peace officer and tampering with a vehicle and resisting an officer, according to the Chico Police Department's arrest log.

About 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Williams was riding the wrong way on Forest Avenue when Officer Dane Gregory stopped him, Sgt. Scott Zuschin said. Williams then allegedly threw the bike and an altercation ensued with he and the officer. The Paradise man allegedly punched Gregory and took the baton when it came out of the officer's hand.

Sgt. Curtis Prosise arrived and Williams allegedly whacked him in the leg with the baton, Sgt. Scott Ruppel said. Police used a Taser to subdue and arrest him.

The officers' injuries were not serious, Ruppel said.

Williams might have been having a mental-health crisis, the sergeants said.

"During the holidays, people get depressed. You see a lot more people put on a mental-health hold," Ruppel said. "That's how they act out."

People can contact the Butte County Behavior Health Department for crisis services 24 hours a day at 800-334-6622 or 891-2810.
